UNjustified

Did they argue in the UN for their own state? Did they consult USA for their support to their claim?
Were they supported by other nations who wanted to be rid of them to somewhere else?
Did they receive an inordinate amount of land given their current population?

They were offered their own state by the UN, but turned it down in favour of going to war with Israel.

Because their land was being stolen to give to foreigners.

Additionally an alternative, only applicable to Jews exisitng already in Palestine was refused by the Jews.

They didn't have a land to have stolen, Britain owned it after they stole it from the Turks after WW1.

You don't own the land won in war.
You get to administer it, which has its own rules for occupying forces.
It's why it was called British Mandate in Palestine.
Britain gave away the land that they didn't own and didn't want.
On 11 December 1917, British general Edmund Allenby walked through the Jaffa Gate into Jerusalem’s old city, symbolically establishing British control of Palestine. (Ironically, Britain had never wanted Palestine, preferring weak Ottoman rule: colonial administration was burdensome and expensive.)

And Israel has refused several UN resolutions to return land they took in various wars.

Is that like a British Empire mandate?
 
Israeli officials have hinted that the “diplomatic hourglass” is running out to reach a negotiated solution to the escalating fighting on the boundary with Lebanon, even as the war in Gaza continues at a ferocious pace. Security sources said the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired the most rockets and weaponised drones on Wednesday that it had in any single day since the clashes across the border began.

A report from Israel’s Kan radio on Thursday, after a particularly intense rocket salvo hit the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona, quoted a government source as saying that the parties were “approaching the point when the chance of reaching an agreement that might guarantee that Hezbollah was distanced from the border would be exhausted … The sand in the diplomatic hourglass in Lebanon is running out.”

Washington and Paris are leading intense secret negotiations to de-escalate the hostilities on the blue line, which are believed to include the possibility of finally resolving disputed territory on the border and persuading Hezbollah to withdraw its forces north of the Litani river, about 35km away.

Putin will be gutted to hear that.
You can claim to own it, but if a UN reslution to give it back succeeds, you should give it back.
Israel has ignored multiple UN resolutions, so no-one can hardly compalin if Russia does likewise.
But they will complain because double standards apply time and time again.

The United Nations are proving to be a toothless advocate for human rights around the world. The only way an oppressed people can find justice is to fight for their rights and Israel must recognise the Palestinian right to a land of their own, or be found in breach of the Resolutions. How are they to be enforced when America constantly vetoes these votes by member nations and Israel refuses to recognise the ICC?

The United Nations is a committee, so hardly surprising it’s toothless.

what decides policy in this world is money and power, Israel has money and power on its side, Palestine just has proxy interests


The only thing we can see is an increasing condemnation across the West of Israel tactics.
 
MSM was unanimous in its condemnation of Russias destruction of Mariupol

but not when Israel does the exact same thing in Gaza.
